I feel bad for him too, and the Blazers.

Oden would be a top three center in the league. But the Blazers could have had KD lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

People ALWAYS say that but Roy/Durant/Aldridge wouldn't have meshed well.

 

[Pugz]

they still would have been a crazy trio..

Trade value on all three would still be sky high, assuming Roy doesn't die next time.

 

[Pugz]

also looking back at oden and durant.. you still have to take oden. those type of big men dont come along too often and if he stays healthy he could be leading any team into the finals.

Agreed. He had rare athleticism for a 7 footer and was a complete game changer on defense. He's basically what Anthony Davis is now, but his body was more filled out and his low post game, although not fully developed, was better.

Kevin Durant was probably the most talented #2 player going into a draft ever though.

you can make the case for durant going number one in multiple drafts, but im sure even he would agree oden needs to go first. it really sucks that hes been injured his whole career.

Love suspended two games, sweet.

Baron Davis suffered a setback in his attempt to return from a herniated back disc. The Knicks now do not expect to have him back before the All-Star break.

"I think we had a little bit of a setback," Mike D'Antoni said. "It's safe to say. I don't know how bad."

D'Antoni said Davis is still "a week to 10 days out when the process restarts."

that damn herniated dick is killing him.

The Cavaliers have received several trade calls inquiring about the availability of Anderson Varejao. But Cleveland considers him 'near-untouchable'.

I had a feeling he had a setback. He was supposed be back for that Miami game and still isn't ready.

I think they would have.

Roy was never a guy that had to put the ball in the basket to be effective, and I wouldn't label Durant or Aldridge as volume scorers. All are solid defenders too.

A Durant/Aldridge p&r/p&p game? Oh my...

Though I without a doubt agree Oden HAD to be the pick.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Hornets will be without Jarrett Jack, Eric Gordon, Carl Landry, and Jason Smith tonight. Who knows the status of Chris Kaman also.

Wow.

Good news for the Kings lol

 

[elcheato]

I really would like to see the Cavs sell high on Varejao, but I doubt we'll get full value on him. Most underrated player in the league.

Everyone criticized the contract the Cavs gave him, and now his contract is pretty much a bargain.

 

[RipCity32]

GMoe now averaging 16 and 10.

2nd in the East in scoring.
3rd in the East in rebounding.
1st in the East in assists.
1st in the East in steals.
2nd in the East in double-doubles.


Can't wait for him to miss the All-Star game though.

 

[Pugz]

hibbert is playing for a better team, yadda yadda yadda...

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, he will probably get in because of that.

 

[Pugz]

if you take hibbert off that team they still make the playoffs. if you take greg away from our team we could be win-less.
